My family’s three-wheel fun is over, at least for now. I grudgingly returned the Ural motorcycle and sidecar we were testing to its handlers, and our sons are in mourning for our mechanized visitor.

The boys, ages five and eight, say the Ural was our most enjoyable test vehicle yet, and I agree. For them, the bike replaces a Mercedes E-Class station wagon at the top of the list. They loved that car for its rear-facing jump seat that allowed them to ride in the cargo bay, pretending to be tail gunners on Memphis Belle (or the Millennium Falcon). For me, the Ural unseats my longtime favorite, the Lamborghini Murcielago.

Italian exotic-car maker Automobili Lamborghini said it will unveil two new vehicles during the coming classic car week in Monterey, Calif., which runs Aug. 15 through Aug. 19 and includes car shows, auctions and vintage racing.

The occasion will mark the North American debuts of the Urus SUV concept and the Sesto Elemento super sports car.

While the event is a big deal for Lamborghini and its Volkswagen AG parent company, it also reflects a few trends in the auto industry.

There was a rare display of supercars in downtown Seoul Wednesday morning – not in a fancy showroom but in the parking lot of the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Those cars, a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, Porsche Carrera S, Mercedes-Benz E350, Ferrari 612, and Dodge Magnum, were all seized from now-defunct Gangwon Domin Savings Bank, which loaned the money for the cars but had to take possession of them when they couldn’t be repaid.

The five were among 17 supercars found covered with dust in a bank-owned garage in a Seoul suburb a few months ago.

A 5.8-magnitude earthquake that struck near Modena, Italy, this morning and an aftershock that followed around noon local time caused many businesses to shut down including exotic sports-car makers Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini. Ferrari said its factory and other operations didn’t sustain damage but closed as a precaution ”for the safety of families and people getting to and from work.” A spokeswoman for Lamborghini, a unit of Volkswagen AG, said the quake’s epicenter was about 19 miles from the company factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese.

Looking like the spawn of a Porsche Cayenne and Range Rover Evoque, with an invasive vine of 1999 Isuzu VehiCross tangled somewhere in the family tree, the Lamborghini Urus sport-utility concept made its debut at the Beijing Motor Show.

The 600-horsepower all-wheel-drive vehicle, which Lamborghini calls the “ultimate super athlete in the SUV segment,” is in part an answer to other high-powered European SUVs like the Cayenne Turbo and BMW X6 M. But even the souped-up Cayenne falls 100 horsepower short of the mark set for the Urus.

Italian exotic-car maker Automobili Lamborghini removed the top and windshield from its Aventador flagship and will present the result at this week’s Geneva Motor Show. The car, called the Aventador J, has 700 horsepower and is made largely of carbon fiber. Lamborghini says the radical car is, “supremely powerful and supremely open.”

The Aventador J resembles open racers that competed in the Targa Florio when that Sicilian endurance race reached its peak in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Of course the cars dominating the competition then were from rival manufacturers Ferrari, Porsche and Alfa Romeo. Few Lamborghinis made it to the racing grid in those days.

Volkswagen AG’s Lamborghini division plans to launch an SUV in 2016, Reuters reported Monday, citing two people with knowledge of the strategy.

Lamborghini plans to announce the vehicle at the Beijing auto show in April, the report said.

In a recent Reuters interview, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann didn’t comment on specific model plans, but said “it would be good to enter a new segment that brings higher volumes and more stability.”

Italian luxury sports car maker Automobili Lamborghini SpA introduced the new Aventador LP 700-4 model in India, priced at 36.9 million rupees ($750,000) at showrooms in New Delhi, for which it has already received orders from 20 customers.

The Aventador was first introduced at the Geneva Motor show in March this year and the company has received 1,500 bookings for the model globally. Deliveries of the car, which has a waiting period of up to 18 months, started in October.

Automobili Lamborghini SpA said it plans to build the Sesto Elemento super sports car it previously showed as a concept at last year’s Paris Motor Show.

The company says composite structure will keep help keep the car’s total weight under 1,000 kilograms, or about 2,200 pounds. That’s about the same as an early Mazda Miata. The car is expected to accelerate from zero to 62 miles an hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 2.5 seconds — about as quickly as the fastest street motorcycles and a second quicker than other supercars.

Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., the exotic-car unit of Volkswagen AG, revealed the latest version of its Gallardo sports car at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The limited-edition model, the Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale, is essentially the street-legal version of the car that runs in the single-make Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo, a racing series for professional and wealthy amateur “gentleman” drivers. The car maker says it will limit production to 150 numbered units.

Like the Super Trofeo competition version, the new Super Trofeo Stradale has a large rear wing and quick-release engine cover made of a lightweight carbon composite.
